The sessions are suitable for all therapists regardless of experience, however they will assume general knowledge of eating disorder diagnosis and treatment options.
Each session has been presented by an experienced Mind Body Well therapist, exploring the topic through a Health at Every Size® lens, focussing on inclusive and respectful therapeutic approaches which are both evidence based and client centred.
The Masterclasses were conducted via Zoom and have been recorded for ongoing access. Once registered, you will have access to the recording and handouts from the session for 3 months following registration. Sessions have a practical focus for therapists working with people with Eating Disorders in the Australian treatment setting.
Eating Disorder Masterclass #8 - Addressing shame in Eating Disorder therapy
Presenter
Fran Beilharz, Clinical Psychologist, Mind Body Well
Masterclass topic
While shame is a healthy and functional emotion, this is often disrupted among those with eating disorders. This may be seen in the secrecy around eating disorder behaviours, difficulty engaging in treatment, and core beliefs of being inherently ‘not good enough’. Some individuals also experience shame relating to not being ‘sick enough’, or shame for relapsing while in recovery. Shame itself can become a maintaining factor of the eating disorder and therefore needs to be specifically addressed in treatment. This masterclass will explore using self-compassion as an antidote to shame, ways we can create openness in the therapeutic space, how to regulate the experience of shame, and changing core beliefs.
This masterclass will explore:
an understanding of the ways in which shame shows up in eating disorder therapy
the ways in which shame can manifest in eating disorder symptomatology
practical approaches for compassionately and actively addressing shame in therapy
